On the wings of the crows
Crows and silence in wintertime are something special, I hope you like this new one.

It was cold,
a dog barked at the night
and the silence that remained
was still heavy.
It was cold
the snow that was falling
left flowers with thorns
on the wings of the crows
Black and white merged
and the coming dawn
gave them its grayish tone
from its early glass.
Everything and nothing came together
getting lost in the sky,
the sea and the air spoke to each other
and the silence that remained
was still heavy.
It was cold on either shore of waiting
the ghost of hope threw stones
into the water of indifference
but they barely made a sound
as they bounced
among frozen waves
and the silence that remained
was still heavy

I wanted to start the song with a snippet of a very well-known melody, Summer time, as a joke, since using that little piece of melody I'm saying, "It was cold... but then it's me and my own invention. The guitar is great here, yes, it's very easy to blacken. I like the contrast between the baroque instrumentation and the word silence. I like those things; I need to fill everything with sounds so I don't hear other things of mine inside.

Los cuervos!!! They are so smart animals!!! My pigeon lays eggs that I leave in the flowerpot at the entrance of my house for a magpie that lives in the area. The next day the egg is gone, but it has left me a twig of something, a button, a small piece of shiny fabric, a cigarette butt; it always leaves me a thank-you gift.
In difficult times for the soul, animals are sacred water.
Thank you for visiting me Elvis, much appreciated.

Hola @StoneFlowers
Thank you for your lovely comment.
I heard a family of magpies talking to each other in the garden. Father, mother, and son, you can't imagine the gentleness and affection that pulsed in their voices. I never would have imagined that a car could sound like a lullaby.
Gracias for you nice comment

Might be interesting to try stopping the instrumentation at "silence" to really emphasize that, then bring it back in.
I particularly like "Black and white merged" referring to the crows and the snow. And it felt like an echo with "Everything and nothing came together"
I haven't experienced the kind of deep winter that this song describes, but it feels like a landscape drained of color.

Quién sabe? Who knows? Imagination walks by so many sits and knows so many souls here and there... Thank you for your kind comment, much appreciated @StoneFlowers

Well, look at that, I tried to find the right place for the silence to have its presence but... I haven't managed it, and every time I listen to the song again I still can't find that right place. LOL
Thanks for commenting, yes, those lines are interesting, I like the one about
"the ghost of hope threw stones
into the water of indifference"
I think it's a powerful line with a very special meaning

hola Chris, perdona el retraso, muchas gracias, I'm so immersed in myself that I'm stuck in a strange limbo, but everything happens in its own time, right?
Thank you so much, you always support other people's work
